 Terrace Farming

Terrace farming is an agricultural practice where stepped or flat plots of land are created on slopes or hillsides to cultivate crops. Benefits include:


1. *Soil conservation*: Reduces erosion and soil loss.

2. *Water management*: Helps manage water runoff and retention.

3. *Increased yield*: Allows for cultivation on previously unusable land.


Terrace farming is commonly used in hilly or mountainous regions, promoting sustainable agriculture and food security.

LEARNING OUTCOMES  Students understand the concept of farming techniques. Students able to understand the advantages of farming in using limited area  Students understand the value of agriculture in life and how it contribute to the growth of nation. Vertical Farming:  Vertical farming is a method of growing plants in vertically stacked layers, often in indoor or controlled environments. Key aspects include: *Benefits* 1. *Increased yield*: Maximizes space, increasing crop production. 2. *Water conservation*: Uses hydroponics or aeroponics, reducing water waste. 3. *Year-round production*: Climate-controlled environments enable continuous growth. 4. *Reduced land use*: Ideal for urban areas, preserving arable land. *Methods* 1. *Hydroponics*: Nutrient-rich solution delivered directly to roots. 2. *Aeroponics*: Roots suspended in air, receiving nutrient-rich mist. 3. *LED lighting*: Provides optimal spectrum and intensity for plant growth. *Applications* 1. *Urban agricult...
